In addition to the main prizes above, I will select three random players (non-qualifying players) who correctly answer all questions. Each of the three random players will win $75 gift cards from Amazon.com

I’ll hide answers during the quiz.

Winners (and answers) will be announced Saturday morning at 9:00 Pacific Time!

Good luck!
